Instant Pot Ultimate Cheeseburger Casserole

This comforting casserole has lean ground beef, tender potato cubes, tomatoes, pickles, mustard, ketchup and cheese! My family loved this dish and if you love cheeseburgers you’ll love it too.

Make this one pot dish with your Instant Pot. Potatoes cook so quickly in the Instant Pot so you’ll only need a 2 minute pressure cooking time for this recipe.

Ingredients You’ll Need…

• 1 pound lean ground beef–you can also use ground turkey
• 1 cup diced onion–I used a yellow onion
• 1 tsp steak seasoning–I used Montreal steak seasoning
• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup beef broth–I used 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon of Better Than Bouillon Beef Base
• 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes–I like using petite diced tomatoes
• 1 1/2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed–about 4 medium potatoes. you can also use Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1–2 Tbsp cornstarch + 2 Tbsp water–to thicken the sauce
• 1/3 cup diced dill pickles–for that cheeseburger flavor
• 2 Tbsp mustard
• 2 Tbsp ketchup
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese–you can also use another type of cheese
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Brown beef: Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Add in the onions. Brown for about 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease. Stir in the steak seasoning and Worcestershire to season the meat. 
2. Deglaze: Pour in the beef broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking (to prevent burn message). Turn off Instant Pot.
3. Layer ingredients on top: Dump the tomatoes into the pot. Dump the potatoes on top, don’t stir in. Lightly salt and pepper the potatoes.
4. Pressure cook: Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 2 minutes. When time is up move valve to venting and remove the lid. Test potatoes for doneness (mine always get done so quickly but if your potatoes are still hard you can bring the pot to pressure for another minute or two). 
5. Thicken: Make a cornstarch slurry by stirring together the water and cornstarch. Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting and stir it in to thicken. 
6. Stir in the pickles, mustard, ketchup and cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. 
7. Serve: Scoop onto plates and enjoy.

Notes/Tips

• I used my 6 quart Instant Pot* but you can also make this recipe in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
• I love using my hamburger chopper tool* to break up ground meats. I also use it to mash potatoes.
• Don’t forget the dill pickles! They tie everything together and add a pop of flavor. I love buying crispy baby garlic dill pickles at Costco.
• You can add a pop of freshness to this dish by topping it with diced tomatoes and shredded lettuce.
• Take a shortcut and use frozen cubed potatoes instead of peeling and cubing fresh potatoes.
• Take a shortcut and use frozen chopped onions. Find them next to the other frozen vegetables at your grocery store.
• Make this like a bacon cheeseburger by adding in some crispy cooked and crumbled bacon.
• I suggest grating cheese off the block instead of using pre-grated cheese that has additives and doesn’t melt as well.
• This recipe can be gluten-free. Make sure to use a gluten free Worcestershire sauce and broth.
• Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
